Here's Green Day Reenacting the Nativity Play in 1991

Bille Joe is a wiseman, Mike Dirnt narrates it, and Tre Cool plays the virgin Mary, giving birth to our lord and savior Jesus Christ.

A

s you may have gathered from that whole

American Idiot Musical

thing, Green Day have a penchant for theatrics. Way before they were entertaining on Broadway though, they were putting on plays in tiny venues. Here they are performing the Nativity play at The Den, a DIY space in the Wigan bus stop in England, in 1991. Bille Joe is a wiseman, Mike Dirnt narrates it, and Tre Cool plays the virgin Mary, giving birth to our lord and savior Jesus Christ. There's silly string, ketchup for blood, and punks, just like when the real Jesus was born. Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.
